METRO STAR is a vanpool service from Houston's METRO public transportation system, serving an eight-county region including Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Liberty, Montgomery, Waller and Harris Counties. As a result, you don't need to live inside the METRO main service area in order to participate in a vanpool.

Many employers in the Memorial District provide financial support to employees as a transportation benefit to help further reduce the individual monthly STAR cost. Ask your employer today.

STAR riders and bus patrons without midday service can sign up for the Emergency Ride/Guaranteed Ride Home program. The free service provides commuters a way home in the event of a midday emergency, up to three times per calendar year.
